Using the TRC20 network is the cheapest way to send USDT from Binance to OKX. The normal fee is only about 0.3 USDT, far lower than other blockchains. If you haven't completed identity verification on the platforms, use OKX referral code 24U2795 and Binance referral code FYLK9104 when signing up. You must pass verification to enable withdrawal and deposit functions.
Step 1: Match the Transfer Network Options on Both Platforms
Go to your Binance spot account and find the USDT withdrawal entry. Choose the network option TRC20 (TRON). Then copy the TRC20 address from the OKX USDT deposit page and paste it into the Binance withdrawal address field. Complete the second confirmation.
Step 2: Check That the Transfer Amount Meets Both Platforms' Minimum Requirements
The minimum withdrawal amount for USDT on Binance TRC20 network is 1 USDT (source: Binance Help Center, 2024-06). The minimum deposit amount for USDT on OKX TRC20 network is 0.000001 USDT (source: OKX Help Center, 2024-06). The amount you enter must not be lower than Binance's withdrawal threshold.
Comparison of Common Blockchain Fees
| Network | Binance Withdrawal Fee | Average Arrival Time |
|---|---|---|
| TRC20 | 0.3 USDT | 1-3 minutes |
| ERC20 | from 3 USDT | 3-10 minutes |
| SOL | 0.01 USDT | less than 1 minute |
Common Failure Reasons
Selecting the wrong network is the most common mistake. For example, filling a TRC20 address into the ERC20 transfer option will directly cause asset loss, and the platform cannot help recover them.
Risk Warning
Do not use third-party intermediary addresses for cross-platform transfers. The anti-money laundering systems of Binance and OKX will flag abnormal flow paths and directly freeze the withdrawal permission of the corresponding account. You will need to submit a complete proof of fund flow for the past 3 months to apply for unfreezing.
After submitting the transfer, wait up to 3 minutes, then open the OKX asset transaction history page to check the USDT deposit record.
